/usr/bin/sendmail is provided by citadel-mta, courier-mta, dma,
esmtp-run, exim4-daemon-heavy, exim4-daemon-light, ...

That is what the policy means by same file (but I agree that this
wording is a bit misleading), and not the same filename in a different
directory - otherwise all packages that provide a copyright file in
/usr/share/doc/*/ would have to conflict with each other.

But I want to play the boulder dash clone epiphany whilst browsing the
web using the epiphany browser!
